    If these fuckers touch notepad I’ll riot.

    Actually that’s not true, I’ll just be quietly annoyed.

      They’ve already touched it. It has a new UI, new features, and has crashed on me multiple times. They’re about to add AI shit to it too.

        I’ve had no issues. I don’t mind the tabs thing, because I’m the kinda buffoon who uses notepad like a notepad. Sometimes I close it and intentionally don’t save only to later be like shit, wish I didn’t do that, and now it’s like I didn’t!

        When I inevitably have issues though I will join you in complaining, because why do they always have to mess with shit!

          I use VSCode + Markdown for an actual notepad. The only thing I ever want from Notepad is to open a file as plain text, instantly, and let me read and search through the text, and maybe make a modification and save it. If I’m gonna be looking at the contents for more than 5 seconds it’s already a good idea to be using a proper text editor.

      They already did. They added tabs to it, which honestly was a pleasant surprise but loooooong overdue. Apps like Notepad++ had stolen the reason for Notepad to exist long ago.
